A good few months out of practice, but I'm revisiting my old goal of reaching a sub-30 5K. Rather proud of this time, considering how lax I have been lately. Hoping to knock those last few minutes off in the next few months. #wintertraining #morningrun

Are you ready for #stayaliveoctober?

It’s happening. They’re coming. Closer. Not very fast, but steady. 

…the zombs!

We need to do what we can to get out of this alive! And the only thing that can be done, is to RUN!

This is the Zombies, Run! October Challenge. ANYONE is free to join this challenge as long as you follow these very simple rules:

You need to have either Zombies, Run! or Zombies, Run! 5k installed. These can both be found here.

You are expected to do what you CAN; not more, not less. No one will hound you if you do not have time to run every day, it’s totally up to you! The 5k app is superb if you are not already running 5k’s. If you want something more advanced (and scarier ;)) go for the regular Zombies, Run! Note: in the 5k app you will NOT be chased by “real” zombies; in the regular game this will happen all the time.

Register a ZombieLink account here and make sure to follow the rest of us to cheer us on! :)

You are asked to share your progress, workout selfies, thoughts about the game/challenge/zombie threat in the tag #stayaliveoctober.

Please write an introduction as to who you are, how often you plan to run, what kind of weapons you think is the best to beat zombies with and, you know, anything that you think would be fun to read about the other zombie runners out there :) Remember to tag it with #stayaliveoctober!

This challenge is for fun and fitness, and to help each other progress as runners. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will get back to you ASAP!

The challenge will officially run from October 1st to October 31st, but if you want to start today already there’s nothing stopping you!

I will be posting lists, encouragement and zombie promos throughout the challenge - whatever that can be done to keep you guys from getting eaten!

More about zombie running can be found » here «

Good luck, and I’ll see you out there!

If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another. The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience. If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.

Holy Transformation Tuesday. I’ve been feeling a little down in the dumps lately because I’m not where I want to be, but seeing these pictures together blows my mind, especially the change in the shape of my face! It’s been three years since I got it in my head that I needed to make a change and the picture on the left was already 20 pounds down from my heaviest. There have been plenty of great days and horrible days and all of the in betweens and even today as I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, I’m a work in progress…I always will be, but that’s okay 🙄

6 months into lifting ➡️ 3 years into lifting

Wish I could say this came easily. Wish I could say that I was small, worked hard, gained muscle, and felt good the whole time. But it doesn’t happen that way. I felt good some days, hell I’ve felt fuckin fantastic some days. But I’ve also felt absolutely terrible some days. I’ve gained a ton of weight in between. I’ve stopped training for weeks because I was discouraged. I’ve stopped taking care of myself at times. I’ve been teased for changing my life. I’ve been an outcast for being this way. This wasn’t a smooth 3 year transformation.

But the key thing is that I’ve stayed dedicated. I won’t say that I was perfect and positive and passionate this whole time, because I wasn’t and that would be a false advertisement of overcoming your battles. Because, I still fight mine. I’m learning how to fight mine when they come back out of nowhere.

That’s the thing about change. That’s the thing about recovery. The past will always be there and the battle will always be a part of you. Recovery isn’t putting your hardships behind you and pretending they don’t exist. It’s acknowledging them, facing them, and learning how to let them not take you down like they have before. #beavisionary #transformation
